When using my program, why would the user need to supply a password or a credit card number?

Because they’re logging in to your application and then buying a thing with a credit card?

Why would I write a program for this, when we were doing it decades ago with web pages that honestly didn't even require JavaScript to function?

Because your product is a program and some of the features are paid. So you have a screen for the user to start/manage/cancel their subscription? It doesn't have to be some JS heavy thing, just that it will be a page in your app and you get autofill for free from the browser.
